Get ‘yer finest Stetsons and Ariats ready.
Stagecoach just announced their 2026 lineup and, per usual, it’s a humdinger full of heavy-hitting headliners, exciting throwback acts and a handful of surprises.
Big names atop the bill include hitmaker Riley Green, crowd-pleasing Lainey Wilson (who you might recognize from “Yellowstone”), rapper turned country newbie Post Malone, genre mainstay Cody Johnson and old guard icons Brooks and Dunn.
They’ll be joined by Wynonna Judd, Warren Zeiders, Little Big Town, Red Clay Strays and Bailey Zimmerman.
As for the aforementioned “handful of surprises,” non-country acts Journey, Hootie and the Blowfish, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind and Teddy Swims are all set to appear as is Billy Bob Thornton‘s bluesy rock group The Boxmasters.
Plus, Diplo, Pitbull and Ludacris will lead the charge on the “late night on Mustang” portion of the three-day extravaganza, which goes down at Indio, CA’s Empire Polo Club on April 24-26, 2026.
In total, 72 (!) acts are slated to perform over the course of the three-day weekend (and we’re not even counting Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse).
“There’s a lot of really high-energy country stuff that borders on rock,” Goldenvoice’s Stacy Vee told Variety about the expansive lineup.
In regards to Wilson getting the top slot for the first time, Vee added “she’s just such a superstar in the space. And her live set is second to no one.”
